[Verse 1]
Oh, I guess that you thought
I'd be happy to have you back
You must think that you're cute
Comin' out of a magic act
But you got nothin' to sell
And I'm not under your spell I'm well so

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, and just so we're clear

[Chorus]
Baby, I'd rather burn (Baby I'd rather burn)
Before I'd have you return (Have you return)
You can fall to your knees (You can fall to your knees)
Begging, crying "but-please" (Crying "but-please")
Leave your flowers at the door I can't take any more
I'm so bored by "sorrys"
Oh, in case you misheard
Baby, I'd rather burn

[Verse 2]
You can talk all you want but your words don't mean anything
I was broken apart now I don't bow to any king
Cause I'm a powerful queen and I mean to be heard my word is
[Pre-Chorus]
Here, and just so we're clear

[Chorus]
Baby, I'd rather burn (baby I'd rather burn)
Before I'd have you return (have you return)
You can fall to your knees (you can fall to your knees)
Begging, crying "but-please" (crying "but-please")
Leave your flowers at the door I can't take any more
I'm so bored by "sorrys"
Oh, in case you misheard

[Bridge]
Baby, I'd rather burn
Oh, I'd rather burn (oooh)
I just need you to hear so I'ma try to be clear
Baby, I'd rather
I used to be broken down then I found I don't need to please you so

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, and just so we're clear

[Chorus]
Baby, I'd rather burn (baby I'd rather burn)
Before I'd have you return (have you return)
You can fall to your knees (you can fall to your knees)
Begging, crying "but-please" (crying "but-please")
Leave your flowers at the door I can't take any more
I'm so bored by "sorrys"
Oh, in case you misheard
Baby, I'd rather
Burn
